[opensuse] Oracle to bill Windows Java users. Are Linux users next?

by Anton Aylward

I came across this http://www.businessinsider.com/oracle-starts-to-audit-java-customers-2016-12 and I find it rather disturbing. I'm glad I'm a Linux user :-) Are there FOSS 'installers' for Java and Windows? Well, actually, even as a Linux user I'm nervous, since I get the Java Runtime from Oracle. They could turn around and charge for that. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] android device backup

by Istvan Gabor

Hello: Is it possible to backup a whole android file system to an openSUSE linux computer? The net is full of sites explaining how to do android tablet or phone backup to PC but those mostly apply to backing up some of the data only. I would like to make a copy of the whole file system of a cell phone to my openSUSE computer. I would like: -backup/copy the whole file system -use cable connection between android device and computer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Question about 42.1 to 42.2 update

by stakanov＠freenet.de

The machine has several repos aktivated (that are as it seems available in their 42.2 version). It has Nivida proprietary driver and is 64 bit. Is it sufficient to run zypper dup with all corresponding repos changed to have a soft migration experience? Where do I run it? In a window or in tty1? Before restarting, should I run manually mkinitrd or should this be automatic after install? Thank you in advance. --- Die Bundesliga hat begonnen!

[opensuse] btrfs problem - how to run btrfsck on boot

by Paul Neuwirth

Hello, got a problem with a machine here. First question: how to run btrfsck on boot? adding fsck.mode=force as kernel parameter seems only to only to check boot partition. The rebooted system fails again after some minutes (see log at end of post) 2nd question. What happened? The system ran for weeks without problems, five days ago a reboot because of updates. Then a reset on the SATA bus occured, but the btrfs is running on a level 1 mdraid. btrfs failed and volumes get remount ro.

[opensuse] problems typing text (curious!)

by jdd

Hello, I try to copy/paste text from a "cat /etc/apache2/vhosts.d" on my leap server (through ssh). the goal is to write a document page on Pmwiki, but I get the same problem pasting in Thunderbird I'm in kde, also Leap 42.1 example below. I can't have the <Directory and /> on the same line, when I can have it there: <Directory /> (same for the other lines) the two of them are UTF8. I suspect some invisible character. How can I get rid of this annoying thing? Note: I don't know how to send you an example, Thunderbird fix the problem :-). See on right what I have when typing and on left the draft record. http://dodin.org/owncloud/index.php/s/2xcwaGr6hTjg75T so a solution is to type in in Thunderbird, record only as draft and copy paste the draft... thanks jdd cat /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/10.vhost.conf # forbid access to the entire filesystem by default <Directory /> Options None AllowOverride None # Order deny,allow # Deny from all Require all denied # RewriteEngine On # RewriteOptions Inherit #DirectoryIndex index.html index.php </Directory> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Fans on Full Speed or not at all (Leap 42.2 Fresh install)

by John Andersen

Oldish (ok, ancient) laptop, Dell Insperion 9400 with new install onto SSD. Since the update of last Monday, fans come on full speed even at low-ish temps of 34C. Fans are either full speed or none at all. When I first installed 42.2 I don't remember this being this way. My fans have several intermediate speeds. What changed, and how can I get back to stepped and managed fan speeds? What package controls this these days? -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] BTRFS problems

by Jan Ritzerfeld

Hey, I installed openSUSE Leap 42.2 with btrfs as root. Now, performing a btrfs balance or a snapper cleanup takes "ages" while there is no or little disk activity but btrfs or btrfs-transaction constantly hogs one CPU. The system becomes very unresponsive and even loses its WiFi connection. For the iwlwifi/mac layer there are warnings in the log like "DWARF2 unwinder stuck at ret_from_fork+...". But nothing for btrfs except one time there was a: "NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#3 stuck for 22s! [btrfs:4090]" in "btrfs_qgroup_trace_extent_nolock+...". Any ideas? There is plenty of unallocated space (25 of 40 GiB).

I assumed that since leap 42.2 provided the libfreetype6-32bit package that this would be build by the obs build by default -- I was wrong.

I don't know what I would need to do on obs to generate this package. However, it is generated for OSS, so I'm a bit confused how to build it?

[opensuse] filesystems not mounting under 42.1

by John Young

I have a weird problem. I have an HP DL980 that had been running openSUSE 13.2. I upgraded it to openSUSE Leap 42.1 and that seemed to go OK, but when I try to boot the machine, the boot fails and I end up in emergency mode. In looking around in emergency mode, I notice that /boot and /var do not get mounted. Both partitions are there and I can run fsck on them without problems. If I have an entry in /etc/fstab for /boot, for example, that looks like this: LABEL=boot /boot ext4 acl,user_xattr 1 2 and issue the command in emergency mode "mount /boot", the system comes back with a prompt, but does NOT mount the filesystem. If I change the entry in /etc/fstab to be: /dev/sda1 /boot ext4 acl,user_xattr 1 2 the filesystem also does not mount at boot time, but when I get into emergency mode, I can manually mount the file with the command "mount -va /boot". This works for both /boot and /var. If I mount the filesystems manually and issue the command "systemctl default", the system comes up fine, but I am confused why the system does not automatically mount those filesystems. Any ideas?? -- JY ------------------------------------------------------------ John E. Young NASA LaRC B1148/R226 Analytical Mechanics Associates, Inc.

[opensuse] Re: user-system vs. suse's system

by L A Walsh

Anton Aylward wrote: > I don't see a reason why we shouldn't have a tree for stuff that is > specific to Suse. ---- I told the perl maintainer ages ago, that if they couldn't deal with the system perl being upgraded, then maybe they should have a dist-perl that is needed for crippled packages that can't be recompiled (like standard perl packages, as in CPAN), that can be recompiled for a new perl. The maintainer basically said that the system perl was for opensuse, and users were not suppose to upgrade it, even for bug-fixes that didn't change the call-API. I even contacted the perl devs who confirmed that minor version changes (5.20.0, 5.20.1, 5.20.2) in perl were "guaranteed" not to change the API, and modules for one minor version should "just work" in other minor versions. However, they don't on opensuse, because version numbers are hard coded into modules and perl causing wide spread breakage when perl is upgraded. If they had the modules build to allow recompilation as other perl-cpan modules, it wouldn't be an issue in most cases -- even when major versions changed. But trying to get some to change is like pulling teeth. Similar issue is the dependency hell, in many or most cases created by hard-linking libraries rather than doing run-time dynamic loading. Gvim has been that way (don't know about latest gvim). On windows (and on my machine at one point (not sure about now unless I test it!)), gvim tries to load python.so, perl.so, etc... and dynamically activates its ability to call those libs if they are present -- Versus -- opensuse just rolling over and dying. I usually tried to keep gvim on root, to help fix problems, but without /usr, (where all the interps were), it wouldn't start. Thing is, I needed gvim as an editor -- not as a script-host. Yet due to bad-SW-build practices, it wasn't usable. :-( A LOT of Opensuse products could be made alot more resilient by using run-time lib-loading and dynamic configuration. It's not a new idea. SGI did it 15-20 years ago, and dynamic GUI configuration was done based on available features on **Plato** back in the 70's! Do we ever learn? A large number of today's programmers didn't come out of a Computer Science curriculum and were self taught. While they know the most important and most needed stuff to stay employed, they usually don't care about "history" and thus are doomed to repeat mistakes and problems solved 40-50 years ago. :-( Thus SW doesn't really progress (and I've seen signs of it going *backward*). While CS used to design computer programs to be "user-friendly", now, because most programmers can't be bothered to learn how to do that, the demand is that *users*, be computer-adapted. Plegh. Even Gates idea of 3D desktop paradigms, intro'd as Vista and Win7 rolled out, have back-stepped, as Win10 went for a 1980's GUI. Everything is being dumbed down so users can be more easily controlled and doled out hand-helds w/all their info in the cloud that they pay monthly for -- w/no privacy. Lovely. I like the Win7 Aero, but it's not even an option above Win7. Bill G was so happy demonstrating some of its early features, and now...its being all rearchitected to run on the lowest end hardware. Plegh! ... I think I've gone off on tangents again....*sigh* -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
